Angels of Hope

Now I know this may come as a surprise ot some of you, but I decided against working at the animal sanctuary. Instead, I'm volunteering at the Angels of Hope Foundation - a school for children in the Chapare area (essentially one of the poorest regions in all of Bolivia). The project seemed so much more worthwhile than the animal park and contributes a lot more to the community. Inti Wara Yassi is basically a glorified zoo. Check out the website; this region has a lot of history. In fact, Evo Morales, the current president of Bolivia, comes from one of the pueblos a few kilometres from the school. I'm having a brilliant time so far. Cat and me are definitely doing two weeks of volunteering, maybe even three.
